i disagree

I would have to disagree with the comment above, all handling companys and airlines are not always suited to ones needs. I have worked for servisair and found it excellent experience where you will meet good people and also some bad. It is all about how much your willing to put into something and want to get out of it. If your a good worker servisair will train you well and look after you. My advice would be to apply to as many handling agents or airlines as possible and make your choice form there.

good luck and enjoy

Hi,

Whats the job for? if its dispatch I would say choose plane-handling.

This is what I recall from when i worked at LHR.

(Servisair) Globeground aint been the same since Lufty pulled the plug. Having worked for them the training was excellent and most of the contracts were good. Obviuosly as a business it makes sense to win as many contracts as possible and as soon as the got into T3 they got a few "desirable" airlines.

PH seemed to have less contracts and concentrate on them. From the job speci they also seemed to have alot more duties ie filing flt plans and from what I heard paid more.

However they are part owned by Aviance so beware!!

Good luck.
